Taser are a four piece band that hail from Hartlepool and surrounding area and was formed in the autumn of 2005 by Andy Tayler and myself
The band consists of Julia Burgess on drums, Derek Jones on guitar, Andy Tayler on guitar and me on bass,
The music is best described as a blend of melodic rock with a heavy edge, although there is a ballad in the repertoire. The various influences that each member brings to the band have helped in defining Tasers sound.
Tasers aim originally was solely for members and friends enjoyment, however, encouragement from our local rehearsal facility (Pig pen Studios) has made us broaden our horizons and if other people get enjoyment from listening to us then that is a bonus! have a listenon our myspace site if you like us give us a ring

Here are some of the influences that each band member cites (and they are very varied!)...
Andy
My influences are a mixed bag and I have just about been influenced by everything other than disco from the 80's (I think I went to sleep during the eighties!) all the bands mentioned have had an impact on me during my life at sometime or another. If I have to name names then in Chronological order then it would be ... Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Sex Pistols, The Stranglers, Venom, The Cult, Sisters of Mercy, Metallica, Placebo, Nightwish, Feeder, Lacuna Coil, Rammstein, Sevendust, Greenday .... and I continue to be influenced!!
Dave
Bad Company, Free, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Greenday, The Killers, and Keane
Julia
Well, Im fairly narrow-minded. I like bands from the 70s & 80s, mainly The Jam, Joe Jackson, The Police, A-ha etc
